Return of the Sword God-Rank Civil Servant novel Chapter 224

The notifications kept pouring in.

[The system has recognized your exceptional swordsmanship and has fully acknowledged your 'Cross Slash.']

[As a result, your 'Cross Slash' has been elevated to a higher grade, reaching the realm of mastery, now qualifying to become a new technique.]

[Congratulations! The grade of your 'Cross Slash' skill has been upgraded to S-grade.]

[Your Cross Slash can now reach the deepest parts of the enemy.]

[Blade Understanding activates.]

[The will of the nameless sword residing in the Guardian Sword responds to your evolved swordsmanship.]

[■■ nods in acknowledgment of your growth and blesses you.]

[■■'s blessing is infused into the Guardian Sword.]

[The information on Cross Slash has changed.]

[You have learned 'Hukong-ryu 3rd Style – Heart Slash (S+).']

[Congratulations on your great achievement! The system has awarded you 10 bonus stats.]

Su-ho smiled as the notifications flooded his view.

He had finally obtained it.

The 'Heart Slash' from the Hukong-ryu 3rd Style.

After seeing the notifications, Su-ho pulled a boss monster-level mana crystal from his pouch and fed it to Bulgasari.

"Let’s wrap this up."

“Bulbul!”

Chomp!

Bulgasari eagerly accepted the mana crystal, and as it chewed, the powerful mana from the boss monster-level crystal spread through it, acting like a booster.

“Buuuul!!”

Bulgasari, now rampaging, regained its energy in an instant and charged at the enemy with all its might, in sync with its master’s will.

– Kkkk! You’re still struggling uselessly!

The Gatekeeper of the Volcano Island sneered, raising its hand.

[The Gatekeeper of the Volcano Island uses Magma Punch.]

As the Magma Punch activated, a massive lava fist shot up from where Bulgasari was standing.

But it didn’t land.

Fueled by the booster, Bulgasari was essentially a runaway train.

“Well done!”

“Buuuul!!”

Yes.

This was exactly why he fed it that precious boss monster-level mana crystal.

As Su-ho advanced, the Red Volcano Elementals gathered to protect their master.

But—

[Blessing activates.]

[Holy Enchant activates.]

The Blood Sword, enveloped in radiant light, swept through the Red Volcano Elementals.

Su-ho swung his sword with all his might toward the ones blocking his path.

[Cloud Slash activates.]

[You have defeated a Red Volcano Elemental.]

[You have defeated a Red Volcano Elemental.]

[You have defeated a Red Volcano Elemental.]

......

The blade was engulfed in flames as the killing messages poured in.

But it didn’t matter.

Su-ho had planned to finish this before the Blood Prison’s ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) blood ran out.

Reaching the Gatekeeper’s front, Su-ho swung his radiant and fiery sword.

[Heart Slash activates.]

Swish!

The sharp cutting sound echoed.

Following the path of the swing, pure white light etched itself across the Gatekeeper’s body.

But there were no visible wounds.

That was to be expected.

Heart Slash wasn’t about slashing the surface—it was the ultimate technique that cut deep into the enemy’s core.

– KHAHAHA! This is no different from last time...!

At that moment, the Gatekeeper’s expression shifted from mockery to seriousness. free𝑤ebnovel.com

It had felt it.

For the first time, the attack that had only made a scratching sound had actually landed.

“Surprised?”

– H-How dare you!

The Gatekeeper’s flustered expression was the most exhilarating sight Su-ho had seen.

From that moment on, Su-ho moved like a cavalryman, circling and mercilessly tearing into the Gatekeeper.

[Heart Slash activates.]

[Heart Slash activates.]

[Heart Slash activates.]

......

A storm of Heart Slashes rained down.

Of course, the Gatekeeper wasn’t just standing there.

It also fought back with everything it had.

[The Gatekeeper of the Volcano Island uses Magma Punch.]

[The Gatekeeper of the Volcano Island uses Lava Explosion.]

[The Gatekeeper of the Volcano Island...]

But none of the attacks landed on Su-ho.

There was only one reason for that.

“Buuuuuul!!”

Thanks to Bulgasari, who had awakened from consuming the boss monster-level mana crystal, it kept the Gatekeeper’s attacks from reaching their mark.

After dealing continuous damage to the Gatekeeper’s magic core for a while—

[Heart Slash activates.]

At last, the moment Su-ho landed another Heart Slash on the Gatekeeper’s magic core.

Fwoooosh!

Suddenly, radiant light erupted from all over the Gatekeeper’s body.

The holy radiance wrapped around the blade and finally cleaved the Gatekeeper’s magic core in two.

– W-What is this nonsense!! Kraaahhh!!

The Gatekeeper of the Volcano Island screamed in agony.

And simultaneously—

[The Gatekeeper of the Volcano Island uses Monster-level Fear.]

[Dragon Blood activates.]

[Due to the Dragon Spirit effect of Dragon Blood, Fear is nullified.]

Once again, the boss monster-level Fear exploded.

It was its final attempt.

This translation is the intellectual property of Novelight.

But no matter how desperate its final struggle, its scream didn’t manage to harm Su-ho.

After all, he was a descendant of the great dragon, impervious to such feeble attempts.

And finally—

[You have defeated the Gatekeeper of the Volcano Island.]

[The gate has been cleared.]

[The MVP of the gate conquest is ‘An Su-ho’.]

[Additional experience is awarded for MVP selection.]
